  1. Hi Peter, Yes, I think you understand what I'm aiming for. Chris, My description above is how my system would work in an ideal world, but it may, in fact, be too difficult a task to accomplish, and I certainly have no expectation that you'll add these capabilities to satisfy my needs. I have very little understanding of PHP or mysql, so I can't comprehend fully what's involved. If it's too tricky, just get the mod out for eveyone else. I can always manually add these links to the product description field. I do appreciate your consideration though. You guys are champions!
  2. Hi Eric, Just wondering if you were able to get this working? I'd like to do the same thing, but don't know where to begin. I'd like to add the extra field within admin for 'additional info' - what's involved in this process? Is it fairly straight forward?
  3. Hi Chris, Not quite actually. It's possible my situation is slightly unique due to my product range. Though a given product may belong in the same family as another for a certain condition, the same is not necessarily true in reverse. For example - if a customer is viewing my product called 'Clear Energy' because they're interested in max performance during weight training, there aren't any other products in my range that I'd combo sell for this purpose. However, Clear Energy does combo-sell well with a number of other formulas where it's targeting a different issue. As it is now, if I were to apply a family to Clear Energy - let's say Clear Stress and Clear Liver are relevant family members in this particular case... when later viewing Clear Stress or Clear Liver as the focus products, we'll automatically see Clear Energy amongst their family products, and this is what I want to avoid, as Clear Energy may not be relevant, depending upon the condition the customer is hoping to treat. You dig? This is why it would be good to be able to hand-pick the combo sellers. As you've likely gathered, each product may appear within several different categories, as the formulas tend to have multiple applications. I actually only have 18 products within my range, but these formulas, in combination with others, actually treat well over 100 common conditions.
  4. Excellent. I've been looking forward to this update. One thing that would be good for me (not sure if it would be relevant to anyone else) is if I could actually specify the products the current product would combine well with. My product line is a range of alternative medicine. Many of the formulas work best if used in combination with other formulas. So just below my product copy, it would be great if I could insert something to the effect of, Combine with: Product Name for bla bla bla Another Product for bla bla bla etc. The product names would link to their respective pages. The combination product names could either be typed in or perhaps selected from drop-down menus. Does this make sense? And this may be way too complicated or perhaps even subject for another contribution, but I would love to be able to specify different product copy for the combo products as they relate to the parent product. Cheers!
